My wife and partner in all things, Elizabeth England,couldn’t be happier that I’m off X because it has become so overwhelmingly negative that it made me into a grouch way too often. Honestly, making the leap to Bluesky might have saved my marriage. Now, I’m thrilled to be part of the largest migration in human history, building something better with millions of others on Bluesky.
2024 will go down in history as the year humanity collectively said, “Enough is enough!” Millions of people packed up our digital lives and joined the greatest migration in human history—not across continents, but across platforms. The mass exodus from X (let’s face it, the X is for toxic) to the vibrant, inclusive world of Bluesky is a testament to the power of community and the human desire for a better way to connect.
For years, X (formerly Twitter) was a digital town square—a place for witty banter, breaking news, and the occasional heated debate. But then came the X era, and with it, a suffocating cloud of chaos. Misinformation spread like wildfire, hate speech flourished under the guise of “free speech. For many, the tipping point was the unchecked disinformation that began to feel less like negligence and more like a deliberate strategy.
Enter Bluesky. With its clean design, decentralized ethos, and commitment to fostering a healthier online environment, it became the beacon of hope for the digitally disenfranchised. Unlike X, where algorithms reward outrage and bots amplify division, Bluesky prioritizes authenticity, collaboration, and user control. It’s a breath of fresh air for anyone tired of the toxic fumes X has been spewing into the digital atmosphere.
The migration to Bluesky isn’t just about rejecting X; it’s about embracing a new vision for social media. Bluesky represents a return to what we loved about online communities in the first place: meaningful connections, thoughtful dialogue, and a space where creativity can thrive.
And the numbers? Staggering. In just a few months, Bluesky has grown from a whisper of hope to a booming metropolis of voices. Artists, writers, activists, and everyday people are carving out their new corners of the internet, rebuilding what Musk tried to destroy.
I’m celebrating this migration with this new video not just as a rejection of what went wrong but as a bold step toward what can be. Bluesky proves that people want more than just a platform; they want a community that reflects their values, supports their aspirations, and uplifts their voices.
I’m so thrilled to be on Bluesky that I made this video to celebrate the biggest migration in human history.
Walking away from tens of millions of impressions and thousands of fans on X was a hard thing to do. But we ex-Xers all seem to be finding each other on Bluesky and the happiness we all feel is uplifting as it gets. I’m also on Threads now but I am enjoying Bluesky more. Here’s to the biggest migration in human history—proof that when enough people believe in something better, they can build it together. Whether you’ve already made the leap or are still considering it, the message ishttp://@ https://bsky.app/profile/kensheetz.bsky.social clear: the sky’s the limit, and it’s looking very blue.
